Three maps of Tennozu Isle, a man-made island to the east of Shinagawa station.

At the top of the map (which is East) are the two Tennozu Isle Stations 天王洲アイル駅 (one serves the Tokyo Monorail line 東京モノレールand one serves the Rinkai Line りんかい線). At bottom-left (which is Northeast) is Tennozu Fureai Bridge 天王洲ふれあい橋, now a pedestrian bridge near the enjoyable TY Harbor Brewery.

The name of this map refers to 寺田倉庫（Warehouse TERRADA） a re-purposed (some might say ‘gentrified’) warehouse district that includes cafes and art spaces, such as the following places:

A little history:

Tennozu Isle and the neighboring areas are built on reclaimed land. And, interestingly, the northeast corner of Tennozu Isle is formed from the remains of an old daiba 台場, and is now the Dai-ichi Hotel Tokyo Seafort 第一ホテル東京シーフォート. Daiba were man-made battery islands built, starting in 1853, as a defense against Commodore Perry and foreign invaders. Here’s a view of Tennozu Isle and Tokyo bay from circa 1936:
